“Anyone who does not comb his hair on a Friday will never get fever...”
Anyone who does not comb his hair on a Friday will never get fever. The first egg a chicken lays if it is eaten shell and all cures the fever. Some people say the egg must be laid on Good Friday.
A Child's SongI dug a little sod with my spade,
And on the sod was a little nest,
And in the nest was a little egg,
And in the egg a little bird
And on the bird a little tail
As long as my finger
And that's my little story- Collector
